MEETING of the CI4 AMBER of COMMERet. (From the Manchexter herald of yesterday.) A special general meeting of the Chamber of Commerce took place in the Exchange Committee-room, yesterday forenoon, for the purpose of i•onsidering the state of the regarding; thee exportatiOn Of Machinery ; and the pro piety of petitioning Parliament for an alteration of the Corn IMAM The meeting waa attended by about thirty geotlerri'm Wtri.mt GARNETT, Esq. WHIT called to the The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meet - ing, observed that the subjects they bad met to discuss were of vital importance to the country at large, and were particularly ecionected with the manufacturing and com mercial interests of this district. He hoped the discussion respecting the COrn Laws would be conducted with tem per and moderation. He made this 'remark because in other towns in which the question had been taken up, so mud) violence and intemperance had in some instances been used, us to injure rather than promote the cause it was intended to serve. Mr. TETER j;WART, in reference to the exportation of machinery, which: was the first subject claiming the atten tion of the filleting, observed that a bill for allowing ma chinery to be: exported, hail been introduced into the (louse of COMITIOIN, and read a first time during the last Session of Parliament. It had been objected that by allowing maehinery to be sent abroad, considerable injury would be done to t namtfaetursrs 'of " this criuntry, and, in consequence of this difficulty, the bill had not been pressed. It w as melerstoirl, however, that' the subject would be tiOn brotOit - forward dining the next Session of Parlia ment, and that Mr. llnSkisson, considering machinery in the sane light as manufactured goods, intended to give his support to the measure, unless some satisfactory reasons should be ;urged to the contrary. It had some time ago been voted in that Chamber, that machinery could not be considered in the light of manufiwtured goods, and that even admitting to their fullest extent the principles of free triode, yet there were Many and weighty reasons why the exportation of machinery should not be permitted.' It had been suggested by Mr. Douglas and other gentlemen, than deputation should be sent to'London, to wait upon ministers before the meeting of parliament, and endeavour to bring them to a right understanding of the subject., Mr. littskisson was understood to have confessed that he hail not as yet given the subject much consideration ; and it woh highly requisite that he should be put in possession of such inforMation as it' was in the power of the Chamber to furnish, so. that he might be enabled to form a right judg ment on so important rt question. No further observations being- offered, the Chairman preeeeded•tolead the resolutions. These sentiments ap peared entirely to,ivincide:with the views of the meeting . , And were unanimously adopted, after a good deal of desul tory conversation. A series. of resolutions, stating the necessity for a re peal of the existing ,Corn Laws, were then read by the Chairmo.—Onp.a.fhern having stated that to permit the impOrtation of foreign corn upon the payment of a too ' donne duty, ,Would be an irnprOvement upon the present 'system, Mr. jOTIN M4FARLANE rose and objected to any duty • whatever being, iruposed upon the importation of corn. • The corn question had already been so fully discussed, and 'so Many publications on the subject had issued from the press, that it was not necessary for him to state his objec. nuns at Ally great length. He would merely state that he . objected to the principle, first on account of its immorality, and secondly ow account of its injustice. It was immoral in so far as it. wits at variance with the will of that Divine Being, who, intended that. his creatures should receive the • produce of . the earth free and unincumbered ; and it was nnjust, because it pressed with greater severity upon the , pOor than upon the rich. . A at .„,„ , 1 „,,,,,,,,,t e eer ware impose d effect would he that at least three millions oflabourers now cm / A(10 in agriculture would have to turn for employ ment to manufactures. • No doubt those of the political economists wise adopted the creed of Peter M'Collocl4, ma k e not hi n g a t * Hof turning a few , millions of people from one sort of employment to • another; but for his part, he could not see how it could be done. If corn should ever lie admitted without a duty, it', insist be by a very gradual proses. Several other gentlemen concurred i;'itit Mr. Ewart; aed the Chairman explained ,to Mr. M‘Far!;kne that the frwlatiffit did not, us he seemed to suppose, sanction the principle of imposing the, import ditty, but merely staigd that to allow impertation by the payment of u moderate ditty would' be better than the present regulations, Mr, GREG observed that the time was not come for total repeal of the duty. Such a measure at present would lest both Oltitalt and impracticable. It would in particular h e gr ossly .unjust to u huge . doss of agricultural labourers, w h o wot:. l d thereby be thrown out of empleyM ent. At the he thought that a duty of ss. or Gs, per guar- • ter wou ld a ff or d ,t sufficient protection to the, agriculturists. Th e c ilA i l 6t A r4 llnierved that the charge of transit on suc h a b u lky art i c le as . corn would of itself afford a con siderable protection to the English agriculturist. m r . M'V,tat.ANt. said it ap peared front Mr. Jacob's Re ,port,that the freight and charge attending the importation 7 of twit from. the continent into this ennntry, amounted ou the aveTag'e to about 10s. per quartet'. Now, if the duty of 12s. were briposed by the legislature, a:r, protection afforded to the agriculturist would amount not to ;25. but to 225. Besides, it would be observed that this was rapidly becoming a feeding country ; a great deal of arable land hail letely, beets converted into•pasture, in consequence the increased demand for animal food which bad arisen in . p o pelous, towns. This rendered the necessity for, import.7' trig corn more ingest and imperative, Mr. .1, Tavunt said that a sudden and total repeal o f t h e Corn Laws would be productive of much Misery to it ,gro,t proportion of the agricUlturists. He thought they s h ou ld ask fora moderate duty at first, bringing it gradually d own , until not i o N . was left but the mere expense of int ,,portation, w hi c h o f jtself would ultimately he a 1411111(.101a protection' to the agricuNiriS ts. , Th e cm / 01mo , o h ser ve,, l that the more moderate of:the fanners weredisposed,to concede the contest, if a reason able, ditty were permitted to rumaiit, Mr. Swot briefly stated a few of the michievous effects , that would attend a free importation- After some further observations by other gentlemen, a few trivial, alterations were made upon the resolution upon which Mr. M I V . iglArke , declared that it now met withh his full coneurrence-; ,a and it,. together with the rest of the .5 series, was passed unanimously. The „,,,„„ g then direetedthat petitions, founded upon t he resolutions , res p ectin g the corn hors, should be forth- 1 with prepared, and that.the resolsttions should be publish • ed as speedily as possible the Manchester news - papers; but that the resolutions respect mg the importation of Machinery , being intended to he presented : to Ministers, sh o uld It alia, present be published.. vote of t h an k s was then passed lo Mr. O a mett, for ,Ins conduct . t 1 te chew ; after which the meeting separated. •••... !!!!'" 1 " 1 " '--..--.-1-------------- „ v TRANSTA REN CY O r THE otAN.---Experimeuts ring the voyage of the Coquille , t o &seer. w ere made tit: t a in at what deoll in the sea an apparatus became in., visible, compose d (sf a a plank two f ee t in dimeter, painted w hite, And we jgil l ied, so that on descending it fib 0 tit a always remain otizontal.

(From the Leeds falelligeneer.) On Tuesday last, a most dreadful accident occurred off Grimsby, on board a Steam Packet. A friend at Hull, who as soon as he heard of the afflicting circumstance, took a boat to collect some information on the subject, has favoured us with the following particulars. So far as our correspondent's statement extends, its correctness may be relied on : rt HTILL, Nov. 7. " At two o'clock this afternoon, the Graham steam packet, which usually plies between Hull and Grimsby, arrived in our roads, towed by the United Kingdom steam packet, of Glasgow, of upwards of 1,000 tons. A dread ful accident occurred on board the former, between eight and nine o'clock this morning. She had left GriMsby with passengers for Hull, and , stood i into.the middle of the Hum ber, to take passengers, e. from the, United Kingdom , for this port and the neighbourhood. & After they had been alomg, side about ten minutes, when about one mile and a half from Grimsby, the pressure of. the steam caused the boiler to explode with a tremendous noise. At that moment there were about seventy passengers on board, about half of whom had been received from the United Kingdom. Two were killed on the instant, eight or nine wounded, and numbers swept into the river. Several were 'afterwards recovered front the water but four are known to be raisin*, and it is feared this is below the number actually lost. The two men killed . I have seen 'on board the United Kingdom. One of them is said to be a Methodist preacher, who preached at. Louth on Sunday evening., and missed the boat yesterday. Nobody on boar knew his name. The name of the other man is Willis Mains, of Scarbro'. He has lately been a seaman on board the United Kingdom, but left that vessel two days agO, and being unable to put into Scarbro', be was coming up here by the Graham. The four persons missing are a man named Johnson, of Louth, and three others from that place or Grimsby, named John Blowe, Richard Jennings, and John Patton., Report says, the engineer of the Graham had left • the engine under the care of a boy, and had - gone on board the United Kingdom to look at her magnificent works. 1 believe, however, this was not the fact. The Captain told me the engineer was upon the paddle-box at the time of the explosion, and received some injury. Amongst those injured are two ladies, one of them severely ; the other was blown into the water, in which she remained ten minutes; but was so fir recovered that she returned in the same boat with me tp Hull. The Graham appears to be much injured; but I can say no thing of the extent of the damage as they would not per mit me to go on board." Our Correspondent has since, communicated to us the following additional paitieulars, which will be found lid' of melancholy interest. HULL, NOV. 8,1826. Among the passengers on board the United Kingdom, Which was on her way from London to Scotland, Were the Earl of Elibank and Col. Howard, (brother-in-law to Sir Win. Rae, Lord Advocate of Scotland), who commanded the 23d Dragoons at the battle of Talavera. Those gen tlemen, at the moment of the accident, with a gallantly worthy of their rank, were handing the females from the United Kingdom to the Graham, and both narrowly escaped destruction. They were nearly opposite to the boiler which exploded, and we believe a piece of metal, nearly I Olbs. in weight, actually passed between them, and killed the unfortunate man Mellins. Both these gentle men displayed the greatest coolness and activity during the whole of this trying occasion. The latter caught an infant its his arms, which was tinown by its mother in -a state of despair, from the Graham to the United Kingdom, and thus the life of the little innocent was miraculously pre served. Several circumstances were peculiarly providential. The' two vessels were in immediate contact. Had the least chasm been left between them, in the confusion which ett- . Many must have fallen in flud baVe 'perished. circumstance appears scarcely less remarkable. The broken fragments were driven in a line directly across the United Kingdom, If they had swept lengthwise along either vessel, the' loss of life, from the crowded state of the decks, must have been ten times greater. Too much . praise cannot be given to Captain Oman, of the United Kingdom, his passengers, and crew---45 remarkably fine fellows, for their promptitude and exertion. Capt. Oman, who is one of the oldest and most scientific steam com manders had, most fortunately, bad two boats manned pre vions to the accident, which were ready to act instanta neously. The efficiency of their exertions will be best estimated, when we state, that of from 34 to 46 persons, swept into the water, only Nor are known to have pe rished. To some. medical gentlemen, passengers on board Captain Oman's vessel, as well as to several who hurried from the shore, on.hearing of the accident, great praise is due for their prompt, and humane attentions. Addresses Of thanks, have been presented to Captain Oman, from • the paseengers of both vessels, and we b elieve the y were richly deserved. We have heard many gentlemen bear personal testimony to hia,merits. In less than half an hour every one who had been wounded or thrown overboard, were put to bed. (I learn from Captain Oman that the female mentioned yesterday had been twenty minutes in the water, and was the last person rescued.). Two or three of the injured persons are not yet out of danger. It is some consolation to add, that, as far as we can learn, the melancholy event has not been the result of mis management. Captain Oman states that the Graham was brought alongside his.vessel in the most seaman-like man ner : that as far as he could observe, the conduct of all on board was quite judicious up to the, time of the explosion ; and 64 the exertions of the Captain. (Morrison) were most laiidablz after the nnfortunate catastrophe ; cannot 'learn the name of the m an described as a Methodist preacher. From his linen an d other circumstances, I shotild question his being one, He is a sharp-visaged man, about 50, with a receding forehead, and the front of his head entirely bald. His body does not hear many, ex ternal marks of injury, and he appears to have been drown.. ed rather than killed by the bursting fragments. The body of McKim is 'much disfigured ,about the head. The bodies were brought ashore late laSt night, and inquests will be holden at our Mansion ou se this day., I( is Mansion-House somewhat singular, that only one person, among all the passengers and crew of the United Kingdom, with the ex ception of Mellins, who can hardly . be consideredecks as boe longing to that vessel, receiv ed an y injury. The df the Graham, near the engine, are c ompletely torn could p, Had the passengers been i n the cabin, no uries u save been sustained. (From the York Chronicle.)

Another was in a dreadful state, and is not expected to recover, both sides of his face and one of his eyes being carried away. There were a great number of passengers, principally to Edinburgh, and most o f t hose on the Unit ed .Kingdom had boarded the Graham when the accident happened, which was about nine o'clock in the morning; amongst them were many ladies, all of whom, however, escaped any serious injury. The poor man who, was killed has left a wife and six or seven children. His wife was on the packet, and a subscription was entered into for her amongst the 'passengers, which athOunted .to upwards of 10/. The whole of the . passengers were put on board the United Kingdom, and landed at Hull, where every attention was paid them. From the confu- Sion that prevailed a variety of reports were circulated, but we believe the above account will be found pretty correct, having been favoured with the particulars by a gentleman present. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Plymouth Journal.) A letter has been received here from au officer of his Majesty's ship Aurora, Captain Austen, on the West India station, giving an account of the capture of a Spanish slave schooner under Dutch colours, attended with most horrible circumstances. It appears that two officers, with a boat's crew, were sent on board the vessel to examine her papers. The Captain represented her as at Dutch achooner; laden with sugar, and, after searching a considerable time, nothing to the contrary was. discovered. Some thing, however, having occurred to raise their suspicion, one of the officers descended into the hold, and, after some search, acci dentally perceived the leg of a black man under a curtain, and, on pulling the curtain aside, more than 24() slaves were found in a state of dreadful disease and starvation ! They had been at sea, from the coast of Guinea, 47 days; and sixty, of three hundred and odd, had died on the passage, together with three others, the day after the capture. Only one day's provision was left in the ship ; and on throwing a yam (a vegetable) amongst them, they fought for it like hungry dogs, and one of them bit another by the shoulder in a dreadful manner. The Vigilant ketch arrived -on Sunday, after a abort trial cruise with the Reynard tender, Lieut. Werth, the Nightingale cutter (which sailed on Friday) not having joined. The result is reported to have been in favour of the Vigilant, and alteration in the rig of that vessel is now considered as a decided improvement. • The Vigilant ketch and Nightingale cutter sailed on Monday on a cruise. The Reynard tender sailed on Friday with dispatches for Lisbon. The Cadmus, 10, Captain Hallowell, arrived on Sunday froM Liverpool, with volunteers. Off Baudsey Island, on the 3d inst., she fell in with the Maid of the Mill, a merchant sloop belonging to Belfast, dismasted, deserted, and with the appearance of having been plundered.—The Cadmus sailed for Portsmouth on Monday. The Bramble cutter, sailed on Monday for Falmouth. The Zephyr transport, Lieut. Williams, Agent, arrived on T uesday, with troops from Cork, sailed again to the eastward. The Antelope tender arrived yesterday from the Downs. The Amelia, Bennett, of and from this port, for Exeter, with oats and beaus, was run foul of, on Friday, near Salcombe, by the Minerva, of and from Sunderland, and sunk—crew saved. In Ilamoase—Britannia, Windsor Castle, and Thetis, and An telope tender. At the IsLnd—Leveret. Mr. Hately, late Surgeon of the Briton, is appointed to the Thetis. Mr. Robert Sholl, of the Adventure (for his intrepid conduct in giving relief to a Portuguese vessel at St. Jago, and saving most of the lives of the crew), is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, and appointed to the Beagle. Lieut. William Lugg ie appointed to command the Lady Wel lington packet, on the Falmouth station, vice Turner, deceased; Mr. Peter Duthy, Acting Lieutenaut, to the Dartmouth, vice .Breedon, Invalided; Mr. Thomas Donald, Assistant-Surgeon of the Asia, to be Hospital Mate at Malta Bespital ; Mr. A. Neale to be Surgeon of the Diamond ; Dr. Macintyre is appointed Assist ant-Lecturer to the Museum at Hasler Hospital; Rev. James Maguere, to be Chaplain of the Blonde. The connoisseurs in naval architecture in this neighbourhood, are all deeply distressed to learn that the Caledonia, a first-rate ' in ordinary at this port, is to be fitted with a round stern ; for it is affirmed that she is decidedly the fittest vessel of her clam in the Britivolt navy, end, in feet, the ne pins ultra of a man-of-war. launched at ir.riiiiirtotiar :;;; ;I tor aifitat.y"treVVolf; 18, aim, building by Capt.

The 'Sapphire, 28, (of the same tonnage as the Challenger) building by Professor Inman, is ordered to be completed forthwith for launching. Considerable doubt has fieen thrown on the truth of the para graph which appeared in oni,lait week's paper, respecting the loss of his Majesty's ship Mat tin, on her voyage from the Cape of Good Hope to the East Indies.—lt is said that the Martin fell in with.the Rainbow at sea, and took her dispatches direct to Rangoon, in expectation of finding the Commodore thew. The statement that the Rainbow had arrived at the latter port without having heard of the Martin since she left that vessel at the Cape, is therefore unquestionably erroneous; and though there is no in telligence from the Martin since she met •the Rainbow at sea, either the Rainbow had not arrived at Rangoon, or the published reports from that vessel are not to be depended on.

The Courier Francais copies from the Drapeau Blanc a letter from Madrid, stating that it is currently reported in different circles, that an army of 60,000 French is about to enter Spain, 40,000 by Bayonne, and 20,000 by Perpignan ; that it is to be called the Army of Co-operation, and is destined to watch over the important changes which the King of S PAIN is about to make in the Government, that h is MA JESTY is to pass some months at Pampluna, whither his Ministers will follow him, and that he will not re turn to Madrid till after the execution of all the new plans of reform. The Etoile, however, throws discre dit upon this report, by inferring that the measure will not be necessary; in consequence of the Princess Re gent of PORTUGAL having proclaimed a general am nesty for all subalterns and privates who shall return to Portugal by the end of the year ; and of Don Ml t h ayinggone throughtll7oßl At and ak eer , e u m G ony , ot . betroth ing to the young Queen of f e► the ukcit, .14e L-oilutittiLlotual talartel. however exactly see how such an inference can be drawn from those facts ; we should rather come to an opposite conclusion, for if the liberal institutions of Portugal are firmly established, the presence of an army will be necessary in Spain to pre vent cotnmotions, whether an attempt is to be made to maintain the present system in that country, or it should be determined to endeavour to bring about a change of system, which would excite all the viru lence of the ultra Party; too numerous in Spain to he kept down without the aid of foreign bayonets. The ceremony above referred to, of betrothing the INFANT DON MIGUEL to the Queen MARIA DA GLORIA H., took place on the 30th October, at Vienna, before all the Court, ,in the presence of their Imperial Majesties ; and the Vienna Journals, in announcing this ceremony, state " that DON MIGUEL, who by his modest conduct has gained the general esteem, appears therefore to have complied with the order of his august Brother and Sovereign." The Papers are barren of any other intelligence. Fa Ewell Fe mos. --PA MS, Nov. 'l.—Five per Cents. 99f. 40c. 45c. ; Three per Cents. 69f. 'Mc. 80c.

We received this morning: Naples Gazettes to the 17th October, from which we give the following ordi nance respecting goods cast on shore by the sea. There is also a curious account of an old lady, 128 years of age, who waited upon his Neapolitan MA JESTY to solicit an extension of his bounty : NAPLES, OCT. 13. A Royal Ordinance has been issued respecting goods east on shore by the sea. His Majesty, says , the pre amble, desiring better to provide for the security of the public health, by adding some legislative regulations to the penal statute for the infraction of the sanitary laws and regulations, has, with the advice of the Council of State, decreed :--- 1. Whoever shall have knowledge of goods cast on shore by the waves, shall immediately give notice to the Board of Health under penalty of a tine not exceeding 50 (bleats. niogleettilliol'eticttillsotdaini:eeelarlirti:::bibnieye:l insusceptible gion, such goods, which, according to the laws a , gr m e u a stb r e pe p n lac alt e y d . 2.

In case of removal, the pealty shall be the second or third degree of imprisonment, and s -' fine not exceeding 100 ducats. An old lady, Rosaria Pangollo, 126 years of age, re siding at Prosi, in Farther Calabria, has lately been at Naples to solicit the bounty of his Majesty. Though four times married, she had only one daughter; and various misfortunes had reduced her to indigence. In her youth, she bad experienced the kindness of King Charles 111., and in the sequel had an annuity granted her by the late King Ferdinand I. Her wants i n cr e asin g with age, late was induced to undertake a journey to Naples, to apply to his present Majesty, who was pleased to give her an audience. Though at such an advanced 'age, all her men tal faculties are unimpaired, and she has even a consider able portion of bodily strength; and his Majesty seemed to feel much pleasure in hearing her relate many circum stances of the life of his grandfather. We need hardly,: add, that her application succeeded even be y ond ler? hopes. His Majesty ordered her annuity to be increaseLLt by nine ducats per month, that the Ministe r of Politir should defray all her expences while at Naples , and giv% her 60 ducats to pay her journey home; to which his' Majesty was pleased to add a handsome p resent from hi' privy purse. . .-.
